no solo es su gran voz poderosa y perfectamente dominada..............es ella misma en si mismo es un espectaculo jamas visto......................................la Ma grande.........................
Back in the 1960's and 1970's it was about the song writer, singer and performer. Many produced their own music too like Buddy Holly or Led Zeppelin. That was talent. Today music is about a big voice, because of all these singing shows on TV. And even then their voices are no match for the likes of Julie Andrews or Shirley Bassey. Bassey's voice has personality and when she gets on a note, man, she's like a laser beam.
Lot's of great singers today, if you know where to look. I guess the closest analogy today would be Beyonce. I haven't listened to her enough to tell, but I don't think she can do what Bassey could do...and I don't think Bassey could do what Cassandra Wilson does. Bassey was a broad/loud Vegas style singer with a nasal timbre and exaggerated vibrato, similar to Ethel Merman. Like Merman, I get the impression she sang unamplified a lot in her youth. Make no mistake, I still think she was great, but there are many great singers today under the radar.
Totally agree with you! No auto tune here, no gimmicks, etc.. just pure talent, singing and entertaining! You can tell it takes a lot out of her! Another great performance of hers is Talk of the Town, 1972.
She’s a huge star in her country and many others. She came to the United States in the 70’s looking for success here. And she never found it. I do not understand why this talent was not well received here. Always been a huge fan. Love her! And a real looker!
When you meet Shirley,over a period of years,in your work, as I did.I worked at The Dorchester Hotel,and served/met her on many occasions,and I (and the other staff) became a part of her extended family,and she treated us like that too.I went(with some colleagues) to this concert,with tickets(best front row seats) given to us by Shirley.We had drinks and canapes after in her dressing room.Offstage Shirley is an ordinary,kind,thoughtful,quiet person (with a great & risque sense of humour).I have many great memories of my time at The Dorchester (many film stars etc) but they are dwarfed by my memories of Shirley.
We are watching the epitome of excellence. This confirmed why she's been my favorite female singer. Incomparable -- that may probably stay forever. Thank you so much Dame Shirley! Also, you've done us a big favor Ms. DSkinner for keeping it online. Enjoy everyone!!
The talent is unmatched she can sing any type of songs.no auto tune no ear piece just a master giving a master class. Makes you realize how low the bar is set for today’s performers . BRAVO SHIRLEY!!!
I beg to differ Mr . Peter's . Miss Aretha Franklin is the greatest vocalist that ever walked this earth . Shirley Bassey is one of a kind. I love her dearly. What a voice. It's like she internalize each and every word.
She has an impeccable voice and diction. The greatness of a singer is when you can understand clearly the words they are singing. Nancy Wilson was another singer with impeccable voice clarity and diction in her performances.
Agreed as I've found a singer in the language I'm studying going on 4 years fitting what you wrote and I've compared her to Shirley and more great singers in different genre!
Well, diction helps understand the lyrics (which are often trite filler), but singing is really a visceral artform. Bassey was quite adept at it. I generally prefer Nancy Wilson, and Ella was the best of the best, but this concert is spectacular.
Sinatra? Sorry, he couldn't even be bothered to sing proper lyrics! His diction wasn't special. I loved him, but must take issue at the comment by @raquelsaenz5899
Just loved when they showed her shows on tv. One of a kind Miss Shirley Bassey, that voice hearing every word, the music of my youth and thankful for the privilege of listening to people who could really sing - not shout.
Shirley Bassey was one best singer of all time she sing live without backup singers just with the band, I just love this concert and love that green gown she was wearing.
James Bond was my favorite fictitious hero as a child growing up. Goldfinger one of my fav movies and Shirley Basie with that stunning iconic voice exhilarated me over and over. Lady Basie is truly one of those special voices of a century. Thank you..........
M P As you like James Bond I was wondering if you have seen Shirley singing The Living Tree live at Royal Variety (on you tube). Although this isn't a James Bond song it certainly should have been as you will realise when you hear it, and her performance of it is nothing short of true greatness. I hope you will enjoy it.
Dame Shirley Bassey...is definitely in a stratosphere all her own...no one else can sing with the energy and emotion this lady possesses...a once in a lifetime talent. No one can touch her💕💕💕
@TheReturnofStephan1 Jennifer doesn’t have the same power as Shirley.. she uses a lot of twang, she doesn’t have the same weight behind her voice as Shirley does or enough volume to sing over an orchestra
I love the way she can sustain one single note and by simply sustaining that single note, tell so much, such richness, and in each context telling something different and appropriate to the part of the tune, such domain of musicality and expressiveness.
I love & adore Dame Shirley & have had the honour & pleasure to have met her many times in Monaco at her home and several lunches & dinners over the years in London & South of France. I was a fan from the time I saw my first ever Bond movie and who knew that I would be so blessed to actually meet this iconic superstar - which she is both on & off stage. But she is also a vibrant, confident diva in every good sense of the word, and is always the consummate artist, yet also with an endearing humility and Welsh charm that I defy anyone to resist! Shirley you are forever and ever brilliant and enduring as your signature song!
Hands down the best female artist of all time. So talented. So expressive in her songs. So much heart and soul. Not just a singer. A true entertainer. So damn gorgeous. I was only two when she was doing this concert but my goodness, that beauty. She’s 82 now. And I still think she is beautiful. Much love to you Dame Shirley😘
What a major talent. I loved her singing ever since I was a kid and fell in love with her rendition of Goldfinger. She doesn’t even need a microphone, and she can easily reach the back row of the Albert hall with her singing. It really makes you realize how far we’ve fallen with our contemporary music and singers, who fail in contrast.Look at the intensity of her emotions as she sings it’s all written there on her face. What is a Beyoncé compared to a Bassey? A hollow shell.
NO STUPID OUTFIT CHANCE ,,,,,NO WIG CHANGE ,,,NO ASS CHANGE .....ITS ALL REAL SINGING AN PURE NATURAL TALENT .....THATS HOW IT'S DONE FOLK ............THE BEST ...............LONG LIVE SHIRLEY.......................
This is almost an unreal talent and voice , so much underrated , i had to see a show of people trying to play like famous voices to remember Shirley. Superb voice!
TheReturnofStephan1 my first bodybuilding show is April 18. Posing to “ THIS IS MY LIFE “. I’ll post it on my channel “ y’all don’t get me started “. If u would like to see it. ❣️
transcendent beauty humanity femininity and talent ! dear god what a performer!
no solo es su gran voz poderosa y perfectamente dominada..............es ella misma en si mismo es un espectaculo jamas visto......................................la Ma grande.........................
What a performance and What a Lady!
На любителя..
My name is Cynthia Bruce. Again I love Dame Shirley Bassey
Amazing and best singer
She doesn’t merely sing a song, she performs the song. Always one of my favorites!
SB one of the greatest singers of all time !!!! When she sings the first thing in your mind is JB movies, lol.
Best si ger in the UK, She is great ambassador for Wales and the UK as a whole.
The best female singer ever to grace the stage. Phasing, articulation, raw emotion, sensuality. The full package. God bless her.
Yes, but Streisand
Nancy Wilson
Да, она великая певица😊
@ЗаурБорлаков-щ5г English comprehension
One of the most beautiful voices ever you won’t hear this from today’s women no one can compare to Shirley Basye’s voice
Back in the 1960's and 1970's it was about the song writer, singer and performer. Many produced their own music too like Buddy Holly or Led Zeppelin. That was talent.
Today music is about a big voice, because of all these singing shows on TV. And even then their voices are no match for the likes of Julie Andrews or Shirley Bassey. Bassey's voice has personality and when she gets on a note, man, she's like a laser beam.
A belter.
Beautiful woman wearing my favorite color.
Knowing Her for over 52 years I never seen a songstress that is able to incorporate dramatics in her Performance; I don't think I ever will.
Shirley Bassey my favorite female singer known as " The Belter" for her powerful voice. I love her song "Never Never." Thanks for posting.
Got to agree with you..what a song it is!❤
The thing is she can belt out a note and in the very next breath sing a note in perfect pianissimo. That is the mark of a superb singer.
Never never is of mina.
When you grow up with this - you can see why modern performers seem like amateurs by comparison - no contest - this IS world-class. For real !
Most singers seem amateurs when compared to Shirley Bassey.
We say the same thing with music rap, hip-hop, R&B, etc! Elvis Pressly I heard was good!
Lot's of great singers today, if you know where to look. I guess the closest analogy today would be Beyonce. I haven't listened to her enough to tell, but I don't think she can do what Bassey could do...and I don't think Bassey could do what Cassandra Wilson does.

F A N T A S T I C ! XXX
she is so powerful graceful yet featherlike. it is like she is living every single word. Absolutely marvellous!
Dame Bassey is a singer. All of these pop stars aren't singers,they are performers.
Just Dame Bassey and an orchestra.
i watched this tonight here in the UK on bbc2, cant beleive it was 1974, just WONDERFUL, loved every second, Dame Shirley is 86 and still singing.
She blows them all away with ease!!!!!!
GRACIAS ESTE SHOW TERMINO HASTA LA PROXIMA .LOS . ADORO GUE DESCANSEN C-HAO ChAO ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ OPEN AT5AM GOD BLESYUO
I've been in LOVE with Shirley for over 65 years...
She’s a huge star in her country and many others. She came to the United States in the 70’s looking for success here. And she never found it. I do not understand why this talent was not well received here. Always been a huge fan. Love her! And a real looker!

What a wonderful reminiscence! She truly has a God given talent
You are one very, very lucky person
How lovely!
There’s 2 British female singers who in my opinion are the world’s best. Shirley Bassey and Cleo Laine. Very different but the best in their fields
es una gran cantante quedan pocas como ella
To any students of performance, this is what you call, your actual masterpiece.
Chuck you ain't lying. Listen to this one one mo'gain !
I mean, what can you say? That is a performance extraordinaire. An earthquake of singing. What a glorious talent! One of the best singers ever.
Dame Shirley Bassey is truly first class. No wonder she sang 3 Bond songs.
We are watching the epitome of excellence. This confirmed why she's been my favorite female singer. Incomparable -- that may probably stay forever. Thank you so much Dame Shirley! Also, you've done us a big favor Ms. DSkinner for keeping it online. Enjoy everyone!!
I love your songs Cherubim Shirley, It is truly inspirational and spiritually empowering...May Almighty God bless you and protect you and your family.
The talent is unmatched she can sing any type of songs.no auto tune no ear piece just a master giving a master class.
Makes you realize how low the bar is set for today’s performers .
BRAVO SHIRLEY!!!
What this goddess does with her voice defies logic and comprehension. The greatest female voice of the modern age.
You just CANNOT beat Shirley Bassey! Damn, what a songstress, an actress, and a superb entertainer. Love her! xx
She was ..is..the GREATEST FEMALE VOCALIST EVER !!!! NO ONE CAN TOUCH HER
I beg to differ Mr . Peter's . Miss Aretha Franklin is the greatest vocalist that ever walked this earth . Shirley Bassey is one of a kind. I love her dearly. What a voice. It's like she internalize each and every word.

How bout Liza Menilli compared to her
@@abrahamdave8409 the White Queen 😉
Thank You.
There's only ONE Shirley Bassey and she belongs to Great Britain. We here in the USA can only WISH we had somebody as INCREDIBLE as Shirley!
She has an impeccable voice and diction. The greatness of a singer is when you can understand clearly the words they are singing. Nancy Wilson was another singer with impeccable voice clarity and diction in her performances.

Also
Sinatra and Nat king Cole had great dictions

Completely mesmerising . No modern female performer even comes close. Shirley is in a league of her own
😆🤣
I am welsh, just like Shirley, she's the greatest singer EVER
Ive been watching this video over and over again and always find myself in great awe of her performance. I adore her so much!

Class, style, intelligence and a voice bigger than life.

This is a classic. This woman is a jewel.
All of these videos are wonderful I have been a believer since 1962 and still find her absolutely amazing

I remember as a teenager in the 70’s, my Mum loved Shirley Bassey and we used to queue up for tickets at Batley Variety Club.
Spent all day watching Shirley Bassey interviews and videos on UA-cam. Everyone should try it. It has been delightful.
can only agreee; she's just like from another star. Goddess. 27.12.19
